This weekend will Haas team for the first time have simulatorstøtte from home, just like the top teams have had it for years.
In the Dallaras headquarters in Italy sits the Pietro Fittipaldi ready to assist Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen.
Simulatorarbejdet be used both to meet up at the racetrack with as optimal a setup of the car as possible, but also to crush the problems from Friday to Saturday, if the sessions out, in fact, requires it.
Many fredagstræninger with teams such as Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull are saved or improved over night with the work flat on the base.
Therefore, began Haas in the beginning of the year to build his own simulator, and it is now ready for use. The hope is that it runs at full throttle from the 2020 season.
– this year we have more work to establish the program than actually using it. First, this weekend we begin to use it during a contest, but only as a test to see if everything works. Hopefully, everything is in place for next year, says team boss Günther Steiner.
– It is not about to help us in the here and now, but to see if everything works as we want it to. In principle, this is a dress rehearsal. Of the process – not the car’s performance. It’s all about being better next year.

to Ekstra Bladet explains chief engineer Ayao Komatsu:
– Simulatorprogrammet has gone well and has hit the goals we want to achieve in the year. We have a program for 2020, which will help us to be better, and hopefully will be able to stop the problems, as we have seen in years, to occur, he says.
Romain Grosjean praises the work undertaken by Piettro Fittipaldi and Louis Delétraz has made in the past year; most recently, the frenchman tried the Haas simulator at Dallara was the markedly improved, although he is not in love with how much computer simulations means in modern Formula 1.
– It is important that we try the simulator, and we use everything we can in the modern world, although I personally do not think so good about the development. It can help us to take steps forward, we must do it, he says to Ekstra Bladet.
– in Fact, come start your setup on my car from the simulator, and it is very different from how we usually put the car up. So we try to see whether it helps us or not, ” says Grosjean.
Who sits in the simulator in 2020 is still to be seen. Haas-boss Günther Steiner is still awaiting a reply from first choice Robert Kubica and polakkens sponsor, oliefirmaet PKN Orlen.
Within a week, or a maximum of two should the decision fall.
The soon-to-former Williams-running is expected to combine the race in the German standardvognsmesterskab, the DTM, with a testrolle with either Haas or Racing Points.
the Arrow is pointing toward, that goal becomes a part of the Racing Points, but nothing is yet published.
– My resolution is taken. I will not go too much in detail; it is a complex matter, and we need to ensure that it all works from the different perspectives, says Kubica to Ekstra Bladet.
the Hope of Haas is to take advantage of Robert Kubicas great experience and associate the Polish oil company PKN Orlen as the sponsor. The arrow is pointing, however, that poles choose Racing Points instead. Photo: Jan Sommer
